As an out half, you want to be judged on three, four, five, six games.
And you're sitting down with the attack coach and you're saying, or the head coach, and you're saying, look, these are the decisions that I think you're making over a period of five or six games that I think could be better.
I think your exits can improve.
I think you're putting the team under pressure in this instance.
And I think we can do this when we get into the 22.
I need you to be a bit more clinical.
I need you to help the forwards out by taking pressure off them.
Can't have them go on four, five, six phases.
They're the kind of conversations that you want to have with a bank of five or six games.
where the likes of Eddie is sitting you down and going, have a look at these four, five, six clips, as opposed to have a look at this one clip from one game.
And this is what I think you need to improve.
And I think this is a weakness in your game.
It's not a big enough test pool.
What he's going to get now with Connacht and with Stewart coaching him is that run of games and also the run of training sessions where he's the one calling the shots.
He can tweak the setups because he's going to be the main man.
And I think we can expect to see significant improvement from him in the early part of next season where he's going to be a real-life contender for that number 10 position.
And it'll be the first time, it's crazy to think that it'll be the first time that he's actually got the run of games for whatever reason between injury and other guys getting their shot.
So I'm really excited for him and I wouldn't judge him overly harshly on that Japan game.
In particular, you look at the block down kick, Eddie, when he tries to go to the Gary Owen.
That's an instinct thing.
